As you go through the process of evaluating and selecting a family law attorney,
you may wish to keep these qualities in mind.
 |
Certification.
Accreditation, peer recognition, and continued education are strong
indications that an attorney has demonstrated skill in family law.
Both the California State Bar
and the American Academy of Matrimonial
Lawyers provide such services and recognition to family law attorneys.
The California State Bar provides a legal specialization program
that certifies family law attorneys, after they fulfill specific criteria
such as a written examination and educational requirements. The American
Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers provides qualified member attorneys
the opportunity to improve the practices of family law as well as
continued education.
|
 | Experience. An experienced
family-law attorney often has the ability to forecast the likely outcome of your
particular matter if the lawsuit proceeded to a contested trial. A recommendation can be
made at an early stage which may help you avoid a contested trial-resulting in financial
benefit for you and much less turmoil in bringing your matter to a successful conclusion.
|
 | Trust and Sensitivity. Working
through family issues in a divorce can be a difficult emotional experience. An attorney
who you trust and who is sensitive to these issues can help you get through the divorce
process with as little difficulty as possible. |
